SEED SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY MASTER

Seed and Plant Breeding industries are rapidly changing and evolving in recent years. In 2012, Turkey’s first multi-disciplinary master program was established within the Ege University Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences with the permission of Turkish Council of High Education in order to contribute to the development of the seed sector by transferring scientific and technological developments in these areas.

 

The program has two sub-programs, which are called “Seed Production and Technology” and “Variety Development”. The mission of the master programme is to educate the students in the latest developments of seed science and technology within a multi-disciplinary curriculum including all components of seed industry (breeding, production, technology and marketing). In addition the students will complete an MSc thesis.
